@MrStrictlyStock

Paul ran for president in 1988 under the Libertarian party, so it's simply bollocks that Paul hasn't garnered much attention until recently. Besides, who had heard of Michelle Bachmann until the last few years? Herman Cain? Who outside of Massachusetts knew who Mitt Romney was prior to 2007/2008? Yet all of these people have garnered far more attention from the media (Fox included) than Ron Paul.

People know who Ron Paul is. Most of them are just too liberal to vote for him.

@joelthomaspeterson I'm sure if the World Wide Web existed in 1988, Ron Paul would've been more popular then.

@TulliusVII Reminds me of tonight's vote in Ohio where the "voters" passed a referendum protecting government workers rights to Unionize. Humm... Private sector pays all the taxes for the state to spend. Government workers get paychecks from the government fueled by the private sector. Yet those who benefit from forcing others to pay them get to "vote" to expropriate even more from private sector payers. What a con game!!! Government workers should be banned from voting in this referendum!

Goldwater was not off on either Communism or civil rights. Communism is real and is alive and well in the USA. Civil rights, as we understand the term today seems to harken to Human rights such as life, liberty and property. Segregation was the states pushing people around while Integration was the Federal Government pushing people around. Do you have or not have a natural right to assemble with another person(s) for any reason you choose? If you do not, then you are being forced to assemble!

And Reagan was still an amicable douchebag...ughhh.

[viletree]

The only fault with Goldwater was his constant fear of Communism, oh and well he was kind of off regarding civil rights.

[TulliusVII]

The contractors & companies involved in the military industrial complex want to keep THEIR free money; all the special interests representing foreign aid (eg Egypt, Africa, Israel) want THEIR free money; the special interests representing handouts from the government (eg teachers unions, Medicare/SS etc) want to keep THEIR free money.

One can go on but the bottom line is that thru massive media influence the public is told which candidates are “viable” and which aren’t. That's how it works.

@337noname

So, to wrap up, every criteria that noname has thrown out there so far to damn GW Bush as being worse than Obama, has in actuality -- when the facts are examined -- shown that the opposite is true, that it has been Obama who has outdone Bush on warmongering, death and destruction, and wasteful spending both at home and abroad. In short, noname has shown he doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. There's the argument, noname. Either respond by point or accept defeat.

[joelthomaspeterson]

Obama also assured U.S. citizens that he wouldn't send ground troops into this unconstitional of his in Libya; but then, sure enough, he later deployed 2200 Marines to the coast of Libya, proving once again that he is a liar who will say anything he deems necessary in order to get want he wants. And these are only a portion of the lies, half-truths, and dirty tactics employed by Obama concerning our involvment in Libya. (cont. 9)

[joelthomaspeterson]

To this I pointed noname to a handy YouTube video documenting Obama's dishonest rhetoric leading up to and into the war in Libya. Obma said we had to get involved in Libya to avoid a "bloodbath," but according to Human Rights Watch Kaddafi wasn't carrying out a massacre against civilians but rather "narrowly targeting the armed rebels who fight against his government."
